File Sensitivity and Vulnerability of Brook Trout Populations to Climate Change
Predicting future brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis distributions at the population scale under various climate scenarios is of interest to the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture. Previous larger scale models have been useful in highlighting the potential threat; however, the predicted air and water temperature errors associated with these models makes predictions of the persistence of individual brook trout populations problematic. We directly measured paired air and water temperatures in watersheds (N = 77) containing reproducing populations of brook trout in Virginia. We found that paired air and water temperature relationships are highly variable among patches but are a useful dataset to classify sensitivity and vulnerability of existing brook trout patches. We developed a classification system using sensitivity and vulnerability metrics that classified sampled brook trout habitats into four categories (High Sensitivity- High Vulnerability (51.9% ); High Sensitivity-Low Vulnerability (10.4 % ); Low Sensitivity-High Vulnerability (7.8 % ); Low Sensitivity-Low Vulnerability (29.9 % ). Our direct measurement approach identified potential refugia for brook trout at lower elevations and with higher air temperatures than previous larger scale modeling efforts. Our sensitivity and vulnerability groupings should be useful for managers making investment decisions in protecting and restoring brook trout.

File Troff document Smith Creek Headwaters Restoration, VA_FY06 Project
The Smith Creek headwaters restoration project restored riparian and upland pastures to bottomland and upland forests in an area with several spring habitats that provide critical spawning, rearing and late summer temperature refuge habitats for Brook Trout. The restored habitat connects to a small isolated Brook Trout population found upstream on protected National Forest land (Mountain Run).

St. Croix River Tributary Culvert Replacement,West Musquash Tributary, Grand Lake Stream, Maine
This project will improve access to a West Musquash Tributary (Otter Brook) for fish and other aquatic organisms and restore the ecological function of this stream. In addition, the project will address a chronic sedimentation problem that is detrimental to the health of the stream, the 4,200 acre Big Musquash wetlands complex, and the West Branch of the St. Croix River International Waterway. The project cost is $44,000 and the estimated socioeconomic benefit is $0.8 million.

File Troff document Sunday River "Chop and Drop", ME_FY07 Project
This project evaluated the impacts of adding large woody material to streams in order to attenuate flows and determined that adding this material resulted in positive trends in reducing flashiness of flows, improving Brook Trout habitat, and trapping sediment. However, one of the lessons learned was that a longer monitoring period than the three-year life of this project is needed. Overall, the project determined that "chop and drop" can be a relatively inexpensive and simple method to attenuate variability in flows, create, improve and restore Brook Trout habitat, and trap sediment.
